come and take it

I managed to figure out how to bypass the cert verification in dbconfig-mysql (named on the tin as dbconfig-common) and got my appliance set up!

1. apt install dbconfig-mysql before installing the PhpMyAdmin package

2. In /usr/share/dbconfig-common/internal/dbc-mysql, in both sections where temporary my.cnf is defined, set ssl-verify-server-cert = off right below the port = line.

3. to install PhpMyAdmin, run DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low apt install phpmyadmin and follow the prompts

4. In /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php add the following line directly under $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = $dbserver;:

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = true;
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] = false;
   

This is why I say it can’t be reformed.

But shitlibs from .world wanna argue. Which is kind of a microcosm of why we are where we are in this country.

Thanks, but I really dislike adminer’s UI, although granted I’ve been using a fairly old version.

How about open source pluggable algos which can be optionally marked shareable between users and selected from a list sortable by number of “installs”

So like a user could define an algorithm to select posts, and then mark it shared, and other users could see it in a directory and try it out themselves, and optionally clone and hack on it, release a new version, etc.

As far as how the post selection algos could be defined, I’m thinking of something similar to the boolean query syntax in the Quod Libet music player, but one could also implement a more code-like syntax.

(I’m aware this is a huge ask, but I’ve had this idea for 8 years since my first Mastodon account, and have been too busy being oppressed by life to do anything about it.)

The eight senators were Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Angus King of Maine, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, but Levin said many more centrist lawmakers were likely “in on the play.”

On **MSNBC Monday, Shaheen acknowledged that Schumer was “kept informed” of the eight senators’ negotiations with the GOP regarding reopening the government.

[…]

“The coordinated nature of this—none [of the lawmakers who voted yes] are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate [minority] leader to stop it,”

Bold of you to assume it’s overwritten rather than being unlinked and having the random data written to entirely different flash blocks.

If you want to rely on “overwriting” data for security, you need deterministic storage; only CMR hard drives mostly qualify (leaving aside the question of bad-block remapping).

• No ruins, probes, artifacts, or lingering tech
• No Dyson spheres or interstellar beacons
• No signs of past galactic empires

Would we really be able to see any of these if they weren’t right in the immediate neighborhood?

• Some transcend biological limitations?

By inventing self-replicating machines, perhaps? :(

A few weeks ago I went on a wiki dive about some pedo shit that happened in broad daylight in the USA in the 1970s and was only solved after it got so fucking egregious the cops could no longer ignore it / write off all the dead kids as “runaways” and not investigate, and holy mother of jebus I can see why some people would believe in shit like Pizzagate after reading about shit that literally did happen in this country in living memory.

Start point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Corll … and this is only the start point, it branches out from there into major conspiracy involving dozens of motherfuckers who mostly got slaps on the wrist if any punishment at all

Got a link I can read?

Something about it is slower than bare Wireguard, but maybe I can do some tests.

I mean they did anally rape the guy with a knife and curbstomp him in the chest, soooo the optics are not great.

These people are every bit as bad as the Nazis and all one has to do to see the truth is listen to them in their own words 🤷

I haven’t done a deep dive in a while, but last I checked there was some thinking that Alzheimers may be caused by inflammation possibly brought on by a leaky blood-brain barrier, and IIRC this was proposed as why eating a poor diet and/or having diabetes is such a risk factor.

I probably should research the topic again, I have a hereditary high risk of Alzheimers, although granted so did my dad and it didn’t get him til his mid 80s.

Anyway… odds on whether this replicates?

Odds of low-frequency horrible side effects to GLP-1 drugs being found?

Also keep in mind that the ARM A5x cores are simple in-order designs intended for max power efficiency, GHz for GHz they are going to be a lot slower than an ARM A7x core or an x86 core, even most x86 “little” cores made in the last 5 years will be considerably faster at the same clock rate.

Have a look at the NanoPi R3S:

https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&path=69&product_id=311

Quad A55 at up to 1.8GHz.

I have a NanoPi R5S running OpenWrt acting as a router + light NAS and a NanoPi M4 running Armbian (Debian flavor) running a LXQt desktop and they’re not bad.

It’s worth noting though that because I have a HDD hooked up to the R5S via USB3, when I read or write to it over a 2.5Gbps link, the CPU is like 60-70% busy just handling USB and network interrupts and running NFS. The R5S has a quad A55 CPU at up to 2GHz, so that should give you a rough idea what the R3S is capable of.

There’s also the NanoPi Zero 2:

In general, older Rockchip CPUs are getting to be fairly well supported these days, and newer ones are getting support a lot faster than the old ones did. But always do your due diligence of course, anything ARM tends to have way more gotchas than x86, and that gets more true as its Chinese-ness increases.

I haven’t confirmed this, but my understanding is that with Tailscale the packets need to be shuffled into and out of userspace, whereas with straight Wireguard they stay entirely in kernelspace.

Either way I was unpleasantly surprised to see Tailscale performing worse than I expected based on raw Wireguard performance on a few ARM based routers I own. Quad 800MHz ARM will be pretty slow for any sort of bulk data transfer. But for light web browsing, ssh, etc it will probably be fairly usable.

Radiators on Earth have conduction and convection available to them as well as radiation. Conduction and especially convection account for the vast majority of heat shed from the radiator.

Radiators in space have only radiation available.

Tailscale will perform poorly on a CPU of that capability if you try to push much data through it. It’s nowhere near as performant as Wireguard on the same hardware.

Congrats! I quit weed about 3 months ago. May not abstain forever but I needed a reset in my relationship with it, plus if I do pick it back up it will be edibles only, I don’t need any more lung damage.

None of this is going to happen.

Multiple articles have come out in the past week with techbros blathering about putting giant stacks of power-hungry compute in fucking orbit, and not a single one of them has explained how a) any of it is going to be cooled and b) how any of it will be even remotely (as in, within 2 orders of magnitude) cost-competive with data centers on the ground.

This is a scam seeking to part extremely rich fools from their money.
